>>55380624damn sounds like trainer licenses must be like, super coveted considering just how much pokemon tend to be relied on for industry
>>55381499i made bibis gimmick the ability to give nonverbal commands, essentially making it kind of hard to react to her pokemons attacks and such, she uses little signals to indicate moves 1 through 4 and basic additional commands like "focus on evasion" "aim low/high" "charge up the attack" etc, of course there can only be so many scenarios she's prepared for, so very specific commands still have to be called out like usual
in most cases though, she'll still call out attacks and punctuate them with the "extra" signals. she's got that kind of goku style desire for a good fight so she prefers it when her opponent can actually adapt, it's more fun to her
the exception is when there's something genuinely important on the line. strength isn't a factor, if she's fighting someone like cynthia in some big champion tournament like the anime, she'll fight as normal, but a weaksauce rocket grunt who's threatening to hurt someone? whole 9 yards, dead silent, all sportsmanship out the window
that aside she actively enjoys testing different approaches and seeks to make use of every tool available to win, stall, rushdowns, trick room, she's done it all. though if she has to name a preference, she loves boosting moves like quiver dance or clangorous soul for blitzing through fights
